I expect that we'll be extremely passive and defensive in the first half, only opening up post-60, especially if down obv
I actually disagree with this on both fronts. I don't think our group is a walkover. Costa Rica is the 3rd best team in CONCACAF and Paraguay we
should beat but aren't pushovers. Every game in our group will be very tough.
Having said that, this is the weakest Brazil team in years. If we get out of group I would feel supremely confident of giving them a game and getting a result. No Neymar and they have a bunch of old guys from their domestic league in their squad. Plus under Dunga they've just been a mess and when Neymar doesn't play they lack identity. I'd happily back us to advance. Obv we won't be odds on but it's not like other years where we'd want to avoid Brazil at all costs.
